Many of you would have heard of a band of pirates, but have you heard of a pirate band? Well here be one such group! Alestorm is a brilliant group of musicians who have a passion for pirates. Pirates and metal - does it get any better? You can find their MySpace here.

Another fantastic review has been made of a LEGO® set, and this time it is of 3840 Pirate Code. Forum member and Classic-Pirates.com reader parchioso has taken some terrific pictures of his new set and written all about the pros and cons. If you were considering this set, or you just like reading about LEGO, this is a review for you!

Eurobricks and Classic-pirates.com member curtisrlee has made an interesting discovery which could well be th start of a firely discussion! Are the new 2009 Pirate sets made from inferior plastic? Is there weak ink going into the printers? Or is it just his parts?

Classic-Pirates.com News Coordinator and 'Behind The Helm' host, Connor Hicks is interviewed by co-host Izzy Kilmartin in Episode #13 - Captain Zuloo. Sharing a number of things from LEGO@reg; in Australia to Pillage the Village II, this is an interesting interview, worth a listen or read.

Although not eligable for prizes, the Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com staff can still enter into the staff division. Minifig Customization Workshop Moderator LuxorV has built the first staff entry, and what a fantastic entry it is! There is even a little back story, so make sure you visit our Pirate forum for more.

Classic-Pirates.com LEGO® Ambassador, Bonaparte, was fortunate enough to attend LEGO World 2009. Whilst there, he saw a huge Pirate layout with ships and islands, outposts and fortresses, and he was kind enough to share some photos of this spectacular layout in out forum!

Ahoy there mateys, unless you have been living in a cave, you'll know about Classic-Pirates.com's Pillage The Village II contest. It's just like Pillage The Village I this time last year, but with a twist. And the Prize Pool is massive, way bigger than last year. Yep, we have the entire new LEGO® Pirates line for you to win, including an Advent Calendar for the winner of the Creative Critic division. Some websites only offer a few sets as their prizes, but never an entire product line! This is a milestone in history, so make sure you are a part of it!

Wow, we have another minifig scale ship in the making! Perfectionist has started work on a minifig scale (1:52) French 80-gun ship-of-the-line. Next to the massive projects by Teddy and Captain Green Hair, there is a fairly large minifig scale fleet floating around the Pirate forum!

Last week we released Part 1 of an exciting interview with LEGO® set designer Jamie Berard, and now we are releasing Part 2! Full of more interesting facts about LEGO trains, The Emerald Night and LEGO in general, this is another 'Behind The Helm' that you don't want to miss.
